OK, I'm now happily importing tabulars. Well, mostly. I'm having trouble with the left borders on multicolumnts. I start with: \documentclass{article} \begin{document} \begin {tabular}

A little more poking shows that \noindent before a \begin{tabular} is ignored. Lyx will include it if the paragraph dialog is used, and export tex with it--but retrieving its own tex, it loses it. hawk -- Richard E. Hawkins, Asst. Prof. of Economics/\ ASCII ribbon campaign [EMAIL
